NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit or AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 384-bit?

AMDRadeonHD · Jul 3, 2013

What's better? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit or AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 384-bit? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 has 2GB's of GDDR5 and it's 256-bit, but AMD Radeon HD 7950 has 3GB's of GDDR5 and it's 384-bit. What's better for future? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 is cheaper in my country.

the nvidia gtx 760. faster and cheaper i believe. the 7950 is kind of overpriced

Ectorr · Jul 3, 2013

After ur name the answer is clear, but here are so many threads where ppl arguing about which one is better. Both cards are great.
I never be able to decide just close my eyes and pick..Dont hesitate pick the one u feel better about, and go nerdy!!

lol being biased doesn't help make good decisions. The gtx 760 is cheaper and faster. plus it has physx if that interests anybody.

The 760 has better price/performance, I would wait until the 8000's series. Here, take a look at the article, the 760 mostly wins. http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4525/nvidia-geforce-gtx-760-review-boost-for-the-mid-range-segment

I dunno why you are so pleased with something that is slower and costs more

Shouldn't AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 384-bit run games more stable at 1920x1080 with alot of anti-aliasing? I mean, it has 3GB's of RAM which is better to have more than having 2GB's and the game uses like 1.9GB's and it's 384-bit.

mohit9206 · Jul 3, 2013

I would go for the 7950 because its more powerful and has more vram so its also more future proof compared to 760.Also you get a few free games so the extra cost is justified.Plus ofcourse amd is reigning supreme these days.

AMDRadeonHD · Jul 3, 2013

And I would have this gaming computer for five years, shouldn't 3GB's be better when the games will use more and more GB's?

Quaddro · Jul 3, 2013

760 and 7950 (boost) is tie in term of performance..

But, money talks, right..?

get 760..
because it's cheaper and offer you same horse power (well, even slightly faster) with 7950.

no at 1080p, 2 gb is enough. If you do 1440p then yea the extra gig would help. As for the AA, it is taken account in the benchmarks. The gtx 760
outperforms either way

Azn Cracker :

haha U like doing this I see. No offense u little fanboy but nVidia prices sucks as well

Now im stop here. I like both series. And I can do nothin, money makes this world go around..I hate it but try to live with it. Ectorr off...
p.s.: Peace men, 760is better yes, but it never was about cards performance

spentshells · Jul 3, 2013

I can only think of 1 reason to get the 7950 and that would be for overclocking where it should (according to charts) pull ahead.

sam_p_lay · Jul 3, 2013

Azn Cracker :

Haha zing! Relax Ectorr, he is right. He's not an nVIDIA fan boy but you do appear to be an AMD fan boy when you argue the case for a slower yet more expensive card. There's nothing wrong with having preferences - you prefer AMD and I prefer nVIDIA. OP is obviously an AMD fan boy and has already made his decision - he'll just feel better if people give him confirmation. Nothing to get upset about anyway.

AMDRadeonHD · Jul 3, 2013

ASUS M5A97 R2.0
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz
Patriot ViperX D2 2x4GB DR3 1866MHz
(AMD Radeon HD 7950 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760)
Zalman Z5 Plus
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Corsair Builder Series CX 600W

What would fit better and run more stable, I want to be it more future-proof.

Ectorr :

Well sir it is hypocritical for you to call me a fanboy because you are for sure an amd fanboy. please "its not about performance" just screams fanboy. What are you buying it for then huh? you going to hang up the card as a decoration?

oh yea amd does give more free games if you think they are worth it.

Btw I'm using a 7870 taihiti by powercolor. sooo yeaaa. I just choose whatever is better for the money and recently nvidia is better with the prices.

Okay one last answer. Im a hybrid fan boy oky ? But I love u all !!!!

smeezekitty · Jul 3, 2013

The 7950 overclocks significantly better so if that is a factor, then go with the 7950.

The higher memory bandwidth will help things like AA too.

sam_p_lay · Jul 3, 2013

Ectorr :

We love you too! :-D

OP - you obviously want to be told to get the Radeon so just buy it!

Ectorr · Jul 3, 2013

sam_p_lay :

hehe, I gonna buy a 7950 cuz my full build will be overclocked like hell.

sam_p_lay · Jul 3, 2013

sourodip · Jul 3, 2013

well a gtx760 and a hd7950 boost edition are more or less the same and their performance varies from game to game. The gtx760 is cheaper and would be worth the money.

Hehe nah, you like AMD - go with pure AMD! That'll be a sweet setup! Only problem is it seems to be lacking a floppy drive?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit or AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 384-bit?
